Four-star Channing Ward's role has expanded beyond defensive end during his senior year for Aberdeen (Miss.).

The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder starred in all three phases for the Bulldogs also lining up at tight end, wildcat quarterback and on various special teams. But naturally Ward's strongsuit was defense where he recorded 12 tackles, three stops for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble in Aberdeen's 31-14 opening loss to Columbus.

Following the game Ward took time to speak with BDJ about his first week performance.
